V: ‘John May lives.’

The cult of Anna certainly explains the Fifth Column. Between her “Bliss” and suicide by pill, no wonder they are trying to expose her. The suicide bomber was still an unnecessary, extreme reaction.

We learn lizard babies need phosphorus in the womb, and humans don’t make enough.

Glad to know Ryan is thinking these plans through. I can’t believe he actually pointed out that Vs would be speaking a different language and have a different body temperature — as opposed to the humans getting on that ship by magic. It was so ludicrous in the original how many times Marc Singer and gang infiltrated the ship or some V event by just wearing a V-niform.

Yay! My favorite Canadian actor ever: Nicholas Lea, who some of you may remember as Krycek in the X-Files. I’ve watched a lot of random Canadian-produced and Canadian-filmed television (Whistler, anyone?) just for him. So he and Erica produced Tyler? Yeah, whatever.

We learn that Tyler had a motorcycle accident and he thinks the resulting difficulties caused the breakup of his parents. His dad assures him that it didn’t, and Tyler is oblivious to something in Joe’s body language that there is more to the story. Indeedy-do: Joe tells Erica they need to tell Tyler who he really is. Please let that not be an alien.

Bad thing about alien letters: We have no idea what the signs say. Dig the phosphorus vending machines, but Ryan looked at a bunch of machines until he came to the right one. I assume it said “yo, phosphorus, get it here” or something like that, but did it? One exception: why was the error message on Joshua’s screen in V language and English? Were they expecting human hackers? Since when have error messages been that easily understood? Maybe in V language it said something irrelevant and unhelpful.

Anna’s emotion test: creepy. Aren’t we stereotyping lizards as being cold and unfeeling? Yes, Ryan gets swept into it (did you really think those two stories wouldn’t collide that way?). Oh, Joshua, just when I almost doubt you, we find out that you and your buddy were actually testing Ryan to make sure he was Fifth Column. Interesting conversation: Anna’s babies, FCers on ships and Earth, John May’s special comm device — and that phosphorus. Joshua’s a doctor, he knows what it means. And it sounds like something will happen to Val once she takes it — they can’t go back once she does.

Georgie, we salute you. Even if Hobbs thinks you are acceptable collateral. You don’t know what you are in for, and Anna is into torture.

Um, the CGI…still not working for me. But I love the MetLife sign on the side of that building. Way to embed the advertising!

Lisa = stalker. Anna must be so proud.

This weeks OMG moment: Valerie’s baby moves…and wiggles its tail for us while Mommy sleeps.
